#5 – DISCIPLINING KIDS

 Don’t bad-mouth the other parent’s rules – You may not agree with them,
but don’t use it as a way to vent your anger with your ex. Even when the
kids don’t like your ex’s rules, give your ex support and respect. You may
find you need it the next time your kids start complaining about your rules
to your ex.

 Stay focused on your home – Kids are going to have challenges with
divorce and going between two households. Help them feel comfortable
by setting up routines in your house. Kids will know what to expect and be
less stressed.
